Ephemeral

You passed through

My heart briefly

And left your footprints

Behind

Harshly

In my sleep

Sorrow broke in

And made away

With my soul

Yesterday

You wrapped your heart

Around my song

And warmed it up

To sweeter tunes

Now you are gone

And

Somewhere in the corners

of my heart-throb

I learn to laugh

At my loss

And beam 

At tomorrow

With the promise

Of 

Fragrant flowers

And

Soothing showers

Our shadows meet at the bank

Now and then

My tears merge with the stream

And

It overflows

To wash muddy footsteps

Down

Memory drain

And hang them up

On the other side

Of here

To dry

Tonight,

I can only watch you

And sigh

Your heart still beats

In my eyes

My hands itch to hold

The rhythm

Safe 

In my bosom

Warmed up by dreams

Rhythm

Carried away

By the wind

Tonight

I lean back to rest

My swooning head

And fate meets me

With a hard knock

My chest expands

To catch the nectar

Of your embrace

And reality trickles in 

Hot

Crude

I was the pipe

That sent you off

To the land of dreamers

But  I was there too

Down in the valley

I was there

Waiting

For my heart

And yours

To tumble

Down

That mountain

Let it fall

Gently

Let my heart fall gently

I am in that land again

This ground I walk on 

Is not mine

This heart that climbs back

To its place

Is reflected

In the mirror

In the heart

Of the full moon

See it pulse

Listen

To the discord

Hear her moan

"He is gone!"

You passed through 

My heart briefly...

Briefly...

And left your footprints

Behind
